Anyone had a delayed emotional response to a movie? (My Old Ass)
*Minor spoilers ahead*
Earlier this week, I was watching the movie "My Old Ass." If you are unfamiliar, the movie has themes of living in the moment. This is something I could admittedly do better at. Specifically, there are two monologues in the film that emphasize "you never know this is the last time you'll do X."
I enjoyed the movie, its themes, and peformances. I was getting ready for bed and thinking about the film in my mind. Maybe 15 minutes after the movie had ended, our baby monitor goes off. I walked into the nursery to replace the pacifier and soothe my kid back to sleep. Then, I connect the dots that this could be the last time I have this kind of moment. I started to weep and really reflect on enjoying these experiences of parenthood. I'm genuinely grateful that the movie made me consider this more closely.
Has anyone else watched and not had an outward response to it intially, but later become emotional when reflecting on that film? If so, what movie had this effect on you?
